We’ve had tremendous growth in our subscribers recently so we would like to point out that each issue has a great question and (if we be so bold to say) greater answer. If you’re a new dreamer, consider looking up the other issues on our site (click here) for some interesting facts about Japan.
Q: What’s your guys schtick? How can you do this for free?
A: Hey, we appreciate the directness! At Japan Dream Houses, we initially started this newsletter as a way to explore affordable housing options for ourselves in Japan. We soon realized that the traditional Japanese real estate listings were tricky to navigate, especially for international buyers whose priorities are often different from local buyers. Many of our readers care less about proximity to work and more about access to beaches, scenic views, or unique cultural sites. So Japan Dream Houses was born to bring these hidden gems to a wider audience!
While the newsletter itself is free, we offer a range of additional services for readers who are ready to take the next step toward buying. Here are some ways we help make the process smoother:
Detailed Searches: If you have a clear vision of what you want in a property, we can do a deep dive beyond our regular listings, curating options that meet your criteria, whether it’s specific architectural styles, landscape features, or local attractions.
Property Reports and Site Visits: For serious buyers, we can provide detailed reports on selected properties and even arrange site visits. This includes on-site inspections, photos, and videos to give you a complete picture of each property’s layout and condition.
Maintenance and Utility Bill Handling: Owning property in Japan while living abroad can seem daunting, but we’ve got it covered. We offer services to manage maintenance, from routine care to urgent repairs, ensuring your home remains in good condition. Additionally, we can handle utility bill payments to ensure everything is up to date and operational, making ownership stress-free.
Assistance with the Buying Process: Navigating Japan’s real estate regulations, contracts, and language barriers can be challenging. We assist with translating legal documents, understanding property taxes, and coordinating with local realtors and officials. We’re here to help simplify each step and handle the details so you can focus on enjoying your future property.
Our goal is to help international buyers access Japan’s beautiful countryside, coastlines, and historic towns without the typical barriers. The free newsletter gives you a glimpse into Japan’s unique properties, and for those looking to take the next step, we offer comprehensive support to bring your dream property to life. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in our services.
